Abstract: A trocar wound closure device includes an elongated body having a distal end for insertion through a trocar puncture wound, a proximal end, and a first and second retractable needle holders disposed at the distal end of the body. The needle holders are movable between a retracted position and an extended position. An actuator disposed at the proximal end of the body moves the needle holders from the retracted position to the extended position, so that the needle holders can be retracted to allow the device to be inserted through a trocar wound preferably through a cannula inserted into the wound, and extended to position the needles adjacent the wound, to allow the wound to be sutured. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a clamping device with a releasable connection of two profile pieces (1, 4), of which one (1) has an undercut longitudinal groove (2) and the other (4) exhibits a box-shaped hollow profile (5) into which there is introduced a clamping piece (6) with a hammer head (7) which engages into the longitudinal groove (2) and engages behind lips which delimit said longitudinal groove, the clamping piece (6) having an oblique surface (11) which runs transversely to its longitudinal axis and with which there interacts a clamping screw (15) which has a conical tip and is accessible through an opening (14) in the hollow profile (5). In order to simplify the design, the invention proposes that the clamping piece (6) be designed in one part and be composed of the head piece (8), of the tension piece (10) and of a resilient loop (9) which connects head piece (8) and tension piece (10), is bent through at least 180 DEG  and the elasticity of which is sufficient in order to lift the head piece (8) with the hammer head (7) when the clamping screw (15) is loosened. An eccentric may also be provided instead of the clamping screw (15). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Un organe d'actionnement (5) applique une force réglable sur un côté d'un piston de soupape (3) axialement mobile dans un alésage (1) d'un boîtier. Le piston de soupape (3) s'appuie de l'autre côté, contre un dispositif à ressort (9) s'appuyant lui-même contre un élément d'appui (8) par rapport au boîtier (2). Les deux positions extrêmes du piston de soupape (3) sont déterminées par des butées (14, 15) fixes par rapport au boîtier, ce qui permet d'obtenir des courants volumétriques définis aux positions extrêmes. Afin de fixer de manière définie le rapport entre l'intensité de la force d'actionnement et la position du piston de soupape (3), l'élément d'appui (8) du dispositif à ressort (9) est lui aussi réglable.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil chargeur de batteries destiné à charger une pluralité de batteries et qui comprend une alimentation en tension connectée par une paire de commutateurs commandés à un convertisseur d'alimentation comprenant un transformateur ayant un enroulement primaire et une pluralité d'enroulements secondaires. Chaque enroulement secondaire est couplé à une batterie. La tension est transférée de l'alimentation en tension à l'enroulement primaire lorsque les commutateurs sont fermés, et le courant est transféré depuis les enroulements secondaires aux batteries lorsque les commutateurs sont ouverts. Le circuit de commande de charge contrôle la tension de chaque batterie et la tension totale des batteries, et détermine la quantité de courant à fournir aux batteries. Le circuit logique de surveillance contrôle les états défectueux, le niveau de tension ainsi que le déséquilibre du courant, et génère un signal d'arrêt de charge quand il convient.

Abstract: The present invention is the formation of solid polymer layers under vacuum. More specifically, the present invention is the use of "standard" polymer layer-making equipment that is generally used in an atmospheric environment in a vacuum, and degassing the monomer material prior to injection into the vacuum. Additional layers of polymer or metal or oxide may be vacuum deposited onto solid polymer layers. Formation of polymer layers under a vacuum improves material and surface characteristics, and subsequent quality of bonding to additional layers. Further advantages include use of less to no photoinitiator for curing, faster curing, fewer impurities in the polymer electrolyte, as well as improvement in material properties including no trapped gas resulting in greater density, and reduced monomer wetting angle that facilitates spreading of the monomer and provides a smoother finished surface.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed utilizing optically pure (-) cetirizine for the treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis in humans while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of cetirizine. The optically pure (-) isomer is also useful for the treatment of allergic asthma and chronic and physical urticaria. (-) Cetirizine is an inhibitor of eosinophil chemotaxis and is therefore useful in the treatment of other conditions related to eosinophilia such as allergic asthma, seasonal allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, some parasitic diseases, some chronic obstructive lung diseases and certain gastrointestinal and genitourinary disorders.

Abstract: A process for preparing a composition suitable for topical application to human skin is disclosed. The process comprises mixing particles of metallic oxide dispersed in oil and having a primary particle size less than 0.2 micrometre with one or more emulsifiers, an aqueous phase and a hydrophilic organic sunscreen so as to prepare an emulsion. The composition contains up to 10 per cent by weight metallic oxide and up to 7 per cent by weight hydrophilic organic sunscreen. The emulsions are useful as sunscreen compositions, skin protectants, moisturisers, and after-sun lotions. The measured Sun Protection Factor for a composition of the invention is considerably higher than would be expected from a knowledge of the individual UV absorbing characteristics of the metallic oxide and the hydrophilic organic sunscreen.

Abstract: A switched capacitor one-bit digital-to-analog converter is preferably utilized in the feedback path of a sigma delta modulator. The one-bit digital-to-analog converter includes first and second capacitors, a first switching circuit for coupling charge from a reference source to the capacitors, and a second switching circuit for coupling charge from the capacitors to positive and negative outputs, such as the summing junction of an operational amplifier. The switches in the second switching circuit have a cross-coupled configuration and are controlled by data dependent control signals. The data dependent control signals are structured such that charge is coupled from the capacitors to the summing junction on both clock phases, regardless of the state of the data. As a result, the sizes of the capacitors can be reduced by a factor of two for the same charge transfer.
